Android Question Is it possible to have image recognition processing?

[Lyndon Bermoy]

Hi guys!

I just want to ask if it is possible to have image recognition processing?

For example, I will capture a tomato in my camera and then after capturing, it will inform the user
that it is a tomato and showing information.

But the main question is, is there really a way to match the capturing image to the real world image such as vegetables identification?

Please I really need an answer.. thanks

My one-and-a-half cent:

If you want to detect "whatever", I would advise to capture the image and send it to an online server which sends you back the results.

Seems that Google has its own service for this https://cloud.google.com/vision/ , don't know how their API works

and also there are other solutions, some of them http-based (simpler to manage), but no idea of their performance nor if they are free/paid

Hello,

I just want to ask if it is possible to have image recognition processing?

Yes it is possible but as far as I know we don't have a native library and should use an external API relying on paid services (I have done something in the past as a test drive with MoodStocks but they are a lot of providers).

But the main question is, is there really a way to match the capturing image to the real world image such as vegetables identification?

My tests worked not so bad but were correct at 40% of time only (not comparable with Googles app recognition ones)
